Are you addicted to your next diet like an Alcoholic to his next
drink? Do you feel great each time you start a diet and exercise
then a let down when you fail, like the high and low of a junkie
with each fix?...
Science has shown that stress actually causes abdominal fat.
Diets cause stress. Put the two together and you make yourself
fat. Yet Americans ignore the facts and think they can outwit
this wisdom.
Do you put your life on hold until you lose weight? After feeling
disgusted, do you drag yourself off the couch to diet and exercise?
Then does burnout send you back to the couch, munchies and TV?
Break this failure cycle
Sixty-five percent of all Americans go on a diet each year. More
than half of those last only 30 days. Twenty-six thousand diets
have been published since 1920. Out of every 200 people who go
on diets, 190 fail. Nine out of ten who make it to their goal
weight gain their weight back within five years. Are we getting
fatter because there is a diet shortage?
Why don’t diets work? Diets don’t work for two major
reasons.
· Diets are a prescription for weight gain. For one thing,
they cause stress. Stress stimulates appetite. It also depletes
the necessary brain chemicals which keep us calm and energized.
As a result, we reach for food to replenish these substances.
Because carbohydrates such as pretzels, candy, and cookies supply
these quickly, we tend to reach for these snacks when we’re
stressed. However, their affect is short lived. Before long, our
brain exhausts the supply and we are reaching for more. payday loans
The “all or nothing” syndrome brings us to our knees.
We’re either on the diet, strict and rigid or totally off
the diet diving into the forbidden fruit, and ice cream, and chocolate,
and chips, and cookies and…When we fail at the diet, the
pendulum swings to the complete opposite side and we overindulge.
It’s the Yin and Yang. You can’t have one without
the other.
